Black Mustangs consists of six guys who has devoted their music to Psychedelic Rock Music between the 60's and 90's.
Minor shoegazing sounds could be heard from 3 guitars mix with funk drowning bass guitar combine with psychedelic drum beats with a nice and sweet tambourine sound and soulful vocal tone.
This will take you far from what you could ask for. It's your prerogative how far this can take you, a trip of "fun Psychedelic tone and a little bit of rock journey"...So cheers and enjoy your journey with us.
Was found in 2005 by Dawny Bayu Amianto(Vocal) who is a former vocalist of Jun Fun Gung Foo and Marchell Arnold(Bass) who happened to have similar taste in music. They came up with an idea to form a “back to basic” ska band. A kind of ska that was born back in the 60s.
After a while, other names came up to fill in the line up. They were Rachmadian ’Dhani’ Ramdhani(Ex-Straightout), who was a blues influenced guitarist, Zendy Bramantya(Jun Fun Gung Foo) and Zenis(In Ska We Trust) to fill in for the saxophones, Wally on drums and Dama ‘Ceky’ Mandey(7 Deadly Sins) as a keyboardist.
The name The Authentics was instantly found and agreed to be the name of the band in the beginning of the first rehearsal. It was because we wanted to have the authentic sound just as the first wave ska bands sounded like and also because we wanted to have the originality and the authenticity of our various characteristics, but yet still have the passion for unity in the band.
In 2007, Zenis resigned from the band to focus on his out of town work. And also Wally, who wanted to become a dentist in the other side of the island. Therefore, The Authentics needed to find other people to fill in as an additional player. Fajar Arifan(currently a drummer of Alexa) filled in for the drums for a few gigs but got too busy with his own band, so his place was taken over by Dias Darmawan(Maddening Pace’s drummer). As for the brass section, Agustinus ‘Dika’ Panji Mardika and Andreas ‘Ucok’ Pardede currently fill in for trumpet and trombone.
In the early days, The Authentics started their performance by covering songs from The Skatalites, Hepcat, The Slackers, Mr. T Bone, etc who are referred as a first-wave ska bands. As time goes by they started to make their own music. Writing danceable Ska songs that are simple, fun and friendly with a touch of Swing, Soul, and Blues, which are known to have the same root in music.
The Authentics are currently recording an album that is planned to be released in around March-April 2010. Keep yourselves updated! Cause one thing to know for sure-It is guaranteed that the music of The Authentics will move your heart and soul to get your asses off the chairs, on your feet and to shake ‘em ALL NIGHT LONG!
Group ini berdiri pada Juni 2009 di Jakarta. Terdiri dari kakak beradik Yudhi (vocal & drum) dan Destha (guitar), teman sekampus Miki (guitar) dan Reza (bass). Pada tahun 1999, Yudhi dan Miki pernah mendirikan group duo bernama Buffe, yang pada tahun 2004 mengeluarkan album selftitled dibawah label Resswara Music Indonesia (RMI). Pada akhir tahun 2003 Yudhi jg bergabung dengan group emo-punk bernama Soulfulsonic bersama Destha dan Reza. Menyadari bahwa music pop memiliki keanekaragaman warna, Yudhi, Destha, Miki, dan Reza sepakat bergabung dalam satu band, dan mengambil elemen musik pop yang lebih fun dan sing along. Sinatera terinspirasi oleh Benfolds Five, Harvey’s danger, Billy Joel, The Buggles, The Beatlles, dll. Mereka ingin merasakan nostalgia atmosfer music pop era 80’an, pada masa Vina panduwinata membawakan lagu-lagu karya (alm) Dodo zakaria dan juga karya-karya dari mendiang Chrisye. Sinatera mengangkat tema lagu berdasarkan dari kehidupan sosial dan film.
Hear the music, sing with SINATERA…
Thanks to UCMJ (an official music and dance community of Atma Jaya University Jakarta, Indonesia) that helped these quite long story began and continues, because all of the former and current members of the band were also the part of this community.
Early 2003, Anthon, Nico and Arya decided to form a band that inspired by the british-rock music such as radiohead, muse, placebo and coldplay. it was called "susukentalmanis (SKM)". At that time, Bass and drums position filled by the additional players.
Late 2003, Rofan asked to join with the band as a permanent player. Not so long after, Hendra also asked to join with the band. But in the early 2005 there were a problem with the early vision of the band,so then 'susukentalmanis (SKM)' becomes to an end.
But because Anthon, hendra and Rofan were still got the same vision to play music together, so then in the late 2006 they recruited Andy to start a new band and they call themself "NOL".
But again in the early 2007 there were a problem with the early vision of the band,so then "NOL" becomes to an end.But because Anthon, Rofan and Andy were still got the same vision to play music together, they decided to start a new band again on Mid 2007 and they call themself "STEREO CONSPIRACY".
Mid 2008, they recruited Andreas "Pudel" into the family to held the position as a permanent bassist.

Formed in the middle of ’98, we start experienced the sound of many bands that we know from our parents. For a couple of years we played those songs, we kind a bored and start making our own sounds and music till now. Basically were just playing a simple rock and maybe with a little touch of blues, funk, and a little bit of light jazz …you decide
Flyafter is a group of creative artists who have chosen music as their work of art. Flyafter was formed back in the year 2004, which at that moment the band had to survive with only 2 personnel. They were Hanan and Rully. The two of them have been best friends and played music together since their early years. Along with their developing skills, they started to create and modification music art. That before they decided to make their own kind of music. They used to play British Indie and Norwegian Alternatives type of music when they started out as a band. The reason was because there were only the two of them and they were using computerized effects and additional sound for their music. Eventually they have created 3 songs of their own, which have been recorded and have became their masterpiece for their live performances. They described their music as the combination of acoustic and electronic. That is why their friends described them as electronic music group. Their demos have been played on air all over Jakarta, Bandung, and Yogyakarta. And also in those cities,they were often asked to perform there. In the year 2005, Flyafter recruited another personnel,whose name was also Rully. But everybody called him, "A'a".
A'a had a major roll in making Flyafter to become more alive.From that moment, the band was making progress. Until finally Flyafter has formed its own management. In the year 2008, the band stopped its activities, in order for all the personnel to finish their college education. But one year later,the band was back in business. The band even created and performed more than ever, that was for the fans from all over the world. For the record, the band has done wrapping their first album,"make me sleep".
You can find Flyafter's address and phone number given in their profile if any of you would like to contact them.
